The Main Thing

All of us around my neighborhood are awaiting the completion of water main cleaning and the end of all those hoses that make walking difficult, not to mention the sudden shutoffs. Even our mayor told seniors how she was inconvenienced by turning on tap to get ready for work one recent morning and finding she had no water.

On Saturday while walking over to the block party, I saw an arrray of equipment on Park Avenue that was awesome. Traffic was squeezed into narrow lanes to make room for the trucks. Maybe once the drains are cleaned and the openings sealed, we can all relax a little more.

There was another crew on the other side of Evergreen School. I hope this signals the final stages of the work. No more jackhammers for a while, please!
